Colossians 1:15-18

Theme: The Preeminence or Primacy of Jesus Christ He must be the Object of our worship
We've been working through this great message out of the letter to the Colossian church, and we've found out that Paul makes it quite clear, that one of the marks of the Christian is that he or she will be giving thanks to God. That has led us to ask ourselves a rather difficult question - to what extent do we really give thanks to God for all that He has done for us, and for our Salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ?

He who has seen Me has seen the Father" That's Jesus. Jesus SHOWS us the Father, because No one has seen The Father but Jesus, Himself.
Jesus Christ, the One by Whom ALL Things, EVERY single thing that exists, every star, every bit of sky, every bit of water, every element, every bit of life WAS created. The Bible says that Jesus created it all. Life didn't just start by ...
